Actually, I'm not sure that is true anymore.  John Paul II was pretty
accepting of Protestants, Jews, and even Muslims.  The RC Church was
"THE" true church, but JPII taught that other religions had elements
of truth, or enough truth to save them (after a gazillion years in
Purgatory, that is.)

Now, the new Pope might have changed this.  One thing you gotta like
about Benny is that at least he sticks to the party line.  It's good
that the pope is Catholic again, at least we know where we stand.

Now ... back to your regularly scheduled pointless debate.
